Shantii P.O.V.

I woke up to my mom standing in front of me, dressed in a sports bra, basketball shorts and sneakers. I blinked.

"Let's go, get up. We're going to Makaysia's house," she popped on her brass knuckles.

"Ma, chill," I tried to turn over to finish sleeping.

"Shantii, get up. I'm not saying it again," she warned. I rolled my eyes and slid out of the bed.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face with my Dove bar soap. I threw my hair up into a tight bun and brushed my teeth.

I walked back to the room and decided on my all black and white Adidas track pants, a white tank top and some sneakers.

I walked to the living room and watched Ma stomp the air, showing me what she planned to do to Makaysia's mother. "Mommy, you're so dumb," I laughed.

My mom is still young, only 35. She's not a bad mom, other than the fact she leaves me alone 90% of the time. She just works a lot and if she's not working, she's drunk. Either one or the other.

I watched her sling an imaginary person a couple times before stopping her before she broke the TV. She was extremely heavy handed, and like me, had hands.

Shit, she was the one who taught me how to fight.

"Shantii it's hot as hell outside, you sure you want to wear those?" she asked, referring to my track pants.

"Yeah I'm good," I shrugged. I don't like showing my skin, it makes me uncomfortable.

I grabbed my car keys and turned around just in time to catch Ma grab a hammer. "Ma, no! You can't hit that lady with that," I said busting out laughing.

She put it back down and linked arms with me as we made our way to the car.

I strapped my seat belt on and pulled out of the parking lot. I found myself getting angry. I was more than ready to serve Makaysia her one.

Yeah, I beat her ass before, but that was when she jumped me. I never received my one on one, and that's what I was coming for.

I swerved into her drive way and unstrapped my seatbelt. I told Ma to wait in the car and ran to her front door. I knocked on it, and her mother answered it.

"Well hello Shantii, good to see you. Makaysia is upstairs so you can-" she started, trying to direct me to her daughters room.

I cut her off, "No ma'am. Can she come down here?" I asked. She nodded and called for Makaysia to come.

I stepped back and waited.

Makaysia bounded her fucked up face down the steps. She looked at me and smirked before stepping out on the porch.

The second she took the step, I yanked her down to the ground. Between the last fight we had and this fight she must have been practicing because she was a little stronger.

I squatted low and threw blows to her forehead. She got up, and tried to swing. I dodged it and tossed her back on the ground.

I let her get up before sliding in and punching her in her chest. She fell down, got back up and tried to slap me, but I grabbed her arm, twisted it back and kicked her in her jaw.

Her mother started trampling down the steps, trying to jump in.

I was getting ready to slam her old ass, when Ma hopped out of the car and went to work. I watched Ma lunge at her before throwing blows aimed at her throat.
